“…These PIs are important because of the frequency of their appearance in the reviewed papers and what they measure (see Table 2). The PIs were used in different PAs (details in Section 4.2) and have played a significant role in water allocation, in that many have used indicators to assess how water is distributed between small farm holders (Abou Kheira, 2009; Abuzar et al, 2017; Agam et al, 2013; Ahadi et al, 2013; Awan et al, 2011; Awulachew & Ayana, 2011; Sánchez et al, 2015a; Setegn et al, 2011), upstream versus downstream farmers (Ahmad et al, 2017; Shanono et al, 2014). Table 2 describes the set of reviewed indicators that appear the most and what metrics might be good for measuring them.…”

“…Many case studies showed an actual state of the systems or evidence of improvement after analysing irrigation systems using the reviewed PIs, for example, in Awulachew & Ayana (2011). Research had used indicators to assess how water is distributed among small farm holders (Abou Kheira, 2009; Abuzar et al, 2017; Agam et al, 2013; Ahadi et al, 2013; Ahmed et al, 2010; Awan et al, 2011; Awulachew & Ayana, 2011; Sánchez et al, 2015a; Setegn et al, 2011) or upstream with downstream farmers (Ahmad et al, 2017; Shanono et al, 2014).…”

The complexity of irrigation systems and the need to adapt them to uncertainties requires developing approaches to synthesize their performances. This paper reviews performance assessment and indicators for agricultural water systems. It is aimed at finding various methods and indices used for irrigation performance assessment and standard classes for their characterization. The global application of the metrics was also documented. Adopting a systematic review approach, peer‐reviewed journal articles published in the English language in the last two decades (1 March 2001 to 31 December 2020) were surveyed. Case studies were presented demonstrating the application of the indicators. The study revealed a lack of standardization and the use of a wide range of indicators among others, and recommended representing certain indicators as single. However, this review considered one indicator as the best. Suggestions for further studies were made.

“…The reservoir can be utilized in any of the following two broad categories; a) Conservation -storage of surplus water at high flows for utilization during periods of deficient flows and b) Flood control -regulation of floods by storing some of the flows and releasing it gradually later. All over the world, water reservoirs or dams are used for many purposes including the provision of portable water supply, irrigation practices, hydropower, and flood mitigation (Shanono et al, 2023). Sustainable utilization of water reservoirs requires dealing with the important issues related to reservoir sedimentation, inflows, operation rules, releases, spills, and anthropogenic activities among others (Obialor et al, 2019).…”

The unceasing risk perception and socio-economic damages caused by flood disasters have been persistent in Hadejia River Valley (HRV). There is, however, a need to review upstream factors that could exacerbate downstream floods in the valley. The review tends to gain insight from the local and global flood occurrences due to the interplay between upstream reservoir management and other anthropogenic activities and downstream floods. The review underscores the impact of poor upstream reservoir operation, agriculture and other anthropogenic activities in exacerbating the occurrence of floods. These activities alter natural drainage patterns, reduce water absorption, and frequent spills from the major dams and hence, amplify runoff resulting in heightened flood risks. It was observed that reservoirs can serve as flood control facilities (if well-managed) and also exacerbate flooding by releasing large volumes of water too quickly or reaching capacity during intense rainfall events. It is, therefore, essential to consider the location, design, and operation of reservoirs, as well as their role within the HRV management context. In conclusion, the Hadejia-Jama’are River Basin Development Authority (HJRBDA) should adopt the Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) approach that combines reservoir management, land use, flood forecasting, and emergency response strategies for minimizing downstream flood risks and maximizing the utilization of the upstream reservoirs.

The chapter presents a scientific and methodological approach to justify investment projects for restoring irrigation systems in southern Ukraine that were not damaged by hostilities. It focuses on irrigation systems in the Odessa region covering up to 10000 hectares with water supply from local sources. The economic efficiency of investment projects for system restoration is analyzed under different agricultural scenarios. Proposals for modernizing a small irrigation system in Odessa are developed, considering legislative reforms for water user organizations. The chapter evaluates the technical condition of infrastructure, land use, legislative reforms, climate change, and water resources availability. Legal aspects of irrigation restoration are examined, and modernization plans are proposed with results mapping. Profitability indicators are calculated for various investment return scenarios, comparing them with the basic business scenario. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess project resilience to changes in key parameters.
